278. Arctic Tern

Date         June 21, 2016
Location    Cruise ship dock in Skagway, Skagway, Alaska




I didn't realize until later what a cool find this was -- I mean, other than getting a bird with the word "arctic" in it. This bird is famous for its long migration from far to the south to far to the north. And I got it in its breeding area in the north, not during migration. Skagway is basically at the extreme southern end of its summer range.

Birding from the balcony was proving to be very productive.
